INTRODUCTIONThe Kodak Pony 828 is a 828 film viewfinder camera made in USA between 1949 and 1959. BEST SUITED FOR:
PERSONAL NOTESThe Kodak Pony 828 is simply designed, it has cheap components, optical quality is not the best, it feels like "the camera of the people". Simple to use (for the fifties), you had to remember to cock the shutter before taking a photo, and unlocking the advance before winding the film. There was no multiple exposure prevention on that design. Pony cameras were popular and are still very easy to find. This particular Kodak 828 is a bit more rare than the Pony 135, because it uses discontinued 828 roll film. CONCLUSIONIf you are interested about the history of cameras or about using old cameras, this is a cheap one you can add to your collection. PHOTO SAMPLESVERDICT:
